Answer

The purpose of ur question is to update male to female and
female to male .......... is it so, then

Source --> SQ --> Expression --> Target

Use an expression transformation and make 1 variable port
in it say gender_check, put the condition in it as

IIF(gender=male,female,male)

make a output port say gender_new and give the value of
gender_check as output.Use gender_new as output to target.

Kindly revert if this worked.

Firstly create a mapping variable say $$count and give it
the default value 5.
Create a port in Expression say Srno. and connect the
sequence generator to it (so that it will mark the rownums).
Then in Filter place the condition Srno = $$count
In the second Expression create an extra port and give it
the value SETCOUNTVARIABLE($$count) (this will increment
the mapping variable).
Next time the job runs it will take value of $$count as 6
and so on ........

Kindly revert if this worked ........
